C-TEC Hi-Output IP55 Wall VAD c/w 103dB Sounder - Deep - Red (XP95/Discovery Compatible) (BF433A/CX/DR/65)

The C-TEC BF433A/CX/DR/65 is a red, addressable hi-output wall VAD (visual alarm device) with a 103dB(A) sounder, on a deep base. It gives W-2.4-8.2 light coverage (min 0.4 lux over a 2.4 x 8.2m cuboid area) when wall mounted. It is designed for C-TEC's XFP and ZFP addressable fire panels running the Apollo XP95/Discovery protocol. It is the IP55 version of C-TEC's hi-output sounder VAD and uses the same lens and electronics as the EN54-23, EN54-3 and EN54-17 certified model.
